The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors 115–105 on April 20 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, staying well below the Vegas total of 221.5 points. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 30 points, supported by James Harden's 28 points as Cleveland's backcourt dominated the matchup. The hosts shot 53 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers, while their offensive rating of 118.9 proved decisive against Toronto's 104.5. Toronto's Scottie Barnes (26 points) and RJ Barrett (22 points) kept the Raptors competitive, but the visitors struggled with ball security, committing 22 turnovers compared to Cleveland's 12, and shot just 7 three-pointers on 50.6 percent overall shooting. Cleveland's fourth quarter proved the difference, outscoring Toronto 31–28 in the final frame after leading 84–77 entering the period. The Raptors' 42 rebounds nearly matched Cleveland's 35, and they distributed 23 assists, but the turnover margin and three-point gap proved insurmountable. With this win, the Cavaliers strengthen their playoff positioning while Toronto faces mounting pressure to regain consistency.
